PAUD (Pendidikan Anak Usai Dini) is a program designed to help prepare children for primary school and help them be overall more successful in their future studies. PAUD SuryaKasih was specifically built in the government housing projects to offer free preschools for families living in those communities. The foundation built its first PAUD SuryKasih school in 2014 in Rusun Pulo Gebang and is currently operating seven schools in Jakarta with a total enrollment of 420 students.
